1/4 crickets

[davieb769]

will 1/4 crickets for a 3-4 week veiled chameleon be ok? when i got the little guy i got some pinheads but i cant seem to find a store around here that sells them. every place ive called only carries 1/4 as the smallest

At 3-4 weeks I would say no... too big. You should be feeding fruit flies and pinhead crix.

depends on how big ur cham is. the normal rule is the length of the cricket shouldnt be longer than the width of the chams head.

Also depends on the cricket supplier! I got a 2000 order of 1/4ths today that looked like pins!

yea i made a few calls and found a good place that sold me a dozen 1/4 cricket for a little over a dollar. these guys were small enough to be pins though for sure

davie-not sure where you are but there are plenty pf places that will mail you crickets and save you buckets of money. A young Veiled can easily down a dozen crix a day and at that rate it would be $30+ a month. It is usually $19 for 1000 shipped to your house!

please...lol...order your feeders offline...much cheaper, and better quality!

cool thanks for that number, i looked on there website and i could get 500 newborn crickets for 20$ shipped to my house next day. i was just wondering how long could i keep these guys until they get to big for my baby veiled? would it even be worth getting so many if by the time im even half way through theyll be too big

Where do you live? Maybe you can sell or give a few to another cham owner.
